SNV-12 Transmit Features
The following is a quick overview of SNV-12 features related to the use of transmitters in a
voting system. All features are discussed more fully in subsequent Sections. This overview
introduces the basic concepts and definitions that follow and facilitates their understanding.
Repeat Mode: Voted audio is retransmitted via the
Default TX Site
or Sites. Or,
when
RX Groups
are enabled, the voted audio is retransmitted to all TX sites in the
STARS
selected group.
Default TX Site Selection: The Default TX Site is the site (or sites) that will
transmit if the default selection is not pre-empted by automatic (STARS or RX
Groups) or manual TX Steering. Options are either a single
Home Site
(intended
for use with a general coverage broadcast transmitter) or
Multicast
to all sites.
Home Site: The lowest-number SVM (SVM modules in the shelf number from 1 to
12 starting at the left) that is
TX-eligible
.
TX-eligibility: All sites are TX-eligible unless they are set up as
RX-Only Sites
or
are part of an
RX Group
that contains a
Primary Site
, but the SVM is not the
designated Primary Site. Primary sites loose TX-eligibility if the primary site
experiences a
Line Fault
and Group Lockout with Primary Site Failure is enabled.
A site may temporarily become unable to transmit if its rear panel PTT Inhibit input
is activated; this does not affect TX-eligibility status.
Multicast: To transmit via all TX-eligible sites.
Console Priority: Console transmissions take precedence over retransmission of
voted audio (when in
Duplex Mode
) or the voting process itself (when in
Simplex
Mode
).
Field Priority: Received messages from users in the field take precedence over
console transmissions for retransmission of voted audio (Duplex Mode).
Line Fault: A site is removed from consideration from voting if it is unsquelched but
receives no RX audio for a selected time duration.
STARS: Automatic steering of console transmissions to the “last-best” voted site.
When STARS is enabled, all console transmissions are transmitted via only the
STARS-chosen site until the
Holdover Timer
expires; afterwards they are sent to
the Default Site.
Holdover Timer: A user-adjustable timer that determines how long console
transmissions will be steered to a STARS or
Momentary Manual TX
selected site.
Latched Manual TX Selection: The use of RS-232 commands or SVM rear-panel
inputs to select which site or sites will transmit Console TX audio. The selection
remains valid until the RS-232 command is rescinded or the input is de-activated.
Has precedence over
STARS
and
Momentary Manual TX Selection
.
Momentary Manual TX Selection: The use of a momentary low signal at SVM rear-
panel inputs to select which site or sites will transmit Console TX audio. The
selection remains valid until the Holdover Timer expires. Can also be commanded
by an RS-232 remote control command. Has precedence over
STARS
.
